Caracterización de residuos sólidos urbanos de la Ciudad de Otavalo

In this research, the residential urban solid waste in Otavalo city was characterized, using Arellano´s method et al. (2012), for the urban and socioeconomic characterization. The method of Arellano & Cabezas (2014), to determine the representative sample. The techniques of Arellano et al. (2013), to quantify Per Capita Production (PCP), quartering and homogenization, components, and density. Four socioeconomic strata were found in the urban area in Otavalo distributed in 703 blocks with residential land use. The stratum with the highest economic income "A" represents 3.41%, followed by "B" with 57.18%, "C" with 32.29% and "D" with 7.11%. Stratified random sampling was employed at 133 households for 7 consecutive days to quantify the PCP, physical components and loose density of solid waste (SW). The average PCP for socioeconomic stratum "A" is 0.51 kg/person/day, for "B" it is 0.67 kg/person/day, for "C" it is 0.56 kg/person/day and finally for "D" of 0.67 kg/person/day. Obtaining a weighted PCP of 0.63 kg/person/day for the urban area of Otavalo. The "Organic" component represents 66.88% of (USW), potentially recyclable components such as Metals, Cardboard, plastic bottles, etc. represent 17.65%, the eventual "Masks" component represents 1.26% and waste represents 14.20%. The weighted loose density of SW was estimated at 187.09 Kg/m3. Where stratum “A” has 124.95 Kg/m3, stratum “B” has 183.88 Kg/m3, stratum “C” has 189.95 Kg/m3 and stratum “D” has 234.00 Kg/m3.
